GAP YEAR ROYAL
Taking a gap year is the fashionable thing to do! Prince Harry
took a gap year between finishing his A-levels and starting a
career in the army. He spent three months in Australia (starting
with the Rugby World Cup) and then three months working on a
ranch in southern Queensland, Australia, where he learnt how to
handle cattle and repair damaged fences. He also travelled and
worked in southern Africa where he visited an orphanage for
children with AIDS in Lesotho, and helped build a clinic and
road-bridge. Way to go Harry!
Prince William also took a year out after Eton, visiting Chile
and Africa before going to study at St. Andrews University in
Scotland. He spent the first part of it in the Belize jungle
sleeping in a hammock; wearing jungle combats, and eating army
rations. He also worked on a farm in the UK before travelling to
a remote part of Chile. As a volunteer for the charity Raleigh
International, William helped build new walkways and teach
English in a mountain village in the south of the country.
WHAT YOUR GAP YEAR CAN OFFER
A Gap year is taking a one-year break before going to university
or embarking on a chosen career. This is an opportunity to have
an adventurous holiday with a purpose. To take some YOU time and
see what the world has to offer! Nowadays, travellers want to
get a little bit more out of their travels, and give a little
bit back to the special places and people that they encounter.
They want deeper and more authentic travel experiences that are
integral to local people's traditions, cultures, and rituals.
Here are some of the best gap year ideas: holidays and travel
experiences from all around the world that ensure that you will
not only enjoy a holiday, but you will learn about a different
culture and contribute something to their society. If you want
to see the world, experience new cultures, and give something
back as you go, then volunteer travel is for you. Whatever your
age, whatever your background, if you have a 'can-do' attitude
and a desire to make a difference, there are a wealth of
worthwhile projects that could do with your help, from
conservation to community development, from teaching to tourism.
TSUNAMI VOLUNTEERS IN SRI LANKA
Some of the world's most exciting and meaningful conservation
placements are in Sri Lanka. These include leopard research and
monitoring, as well as Elephant research and monitoring
populations and impacts. Following the devastation caused by
last year's tsunami, various projects have been set up to
restore the beaches and houses along Sri Lanka's western coast.
The debris collected on these beaches are turning them into
breeding grounds for disease and making them unsuitable for
habitation. Volunteer teams are set-up to help with beach
clearance activities, beginning
